Description
Released in 2005 as part of the Pokémon Deoxys expansion, this Manectric card (number 38) serves as a distinct entry for collectors tracking the series' evolution. Illustrated by Hajime Kusajima, the card depicts a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon that evolves from Electrike. With 70 HP, it offers a balanced presence for players building their collections or engaging with the game mechanics of that era. The card features two notable attacks: Lightning Thunder Spear, which targets a single opponent's Pokémon for 20 damage while ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon, and Magnetic Tackle. The latter allows for variable damage output, dealing 40 plus 10 more for each Lightning Energy attached, though it inflicts 10 damage to Manectric itself. This risk-reward dynamic is a key element for enthusiasts studying the strategic depth of the 2005 release. For investors and hobbyists alike, the Deoxys set remains a significant chapter in Pokémon TCG history, and this card is a valuable component for those completing the base set.
